You use the i386 for itself and for all 3 of those - the installation itself 
seems to sort out which to use.  For 64 bit architecture you use the AMD64 
version, for both AMD and Intel 64 bit chips except for Itanium, and for 32 
bit architecture you use i386, again for both AMD and Intel, in spite of the 
i for Intel.  The i386 installer can be used on 64 bit architecture, and in 
the past often was, but that is rarely done now.
